Unalaska, AK – City council will meet tonight for a brief meeting after an hour-and-a-half long presentation on the Carl E. Moses Boat Harbor. PND Engineers and Pacific Pile and Marine will talk about the inner harbor design and gather public input starting at 5:30 pm.

At the official meeting, the city council will hear a presentation from the city's attorney on the annual legal report before discussing their budget goals for FY11. According to the city manager, the city may have to pull up to $23 million dollars from the city's savings to fund projects for the upcoming fiscal year. Along with the budget, they will look at a necessary resolution allowing the city to bond for $5 million dollars to pay for part of the new small boat harbor. This is a new resolution to replace one passed in November. It allows the city to try for new, possibly better Build America bonds and to get better interest rates on older bonds. That could save the city between $10 and 12 thousand dollars. The $5 million dollar bond was originally approved by voters in 2005 and will be reimbursed by the state.

The council will also decide on council travel to Juneau for discussions with legislators and the legislative reception. Each year council members travel to Juneau to drum up support for local projects and try to bring more money to the community.

The executive session on the boat harbor, PCB lawsuit update, and potential taxi permit revocations is closed to the public. Last year the city decided to sue the federal government for $4 million dollars to get reimbursed for cleaning up PCBs at the powerhouse site that contaminated the soil during World War II. City Attorney Brooks Chandler said the case should take about a year, or until about now.

The public portion of the meeting is scheduled to last only an hour at will start at 7 pm in the city council chambers.
